Just one thing though: Can we use rockets to take down hogs even though "Cops Don't use them"?
Dutch that is the funniest thing I've seen in a forum in a long time. Well no people basically calling one of the best players in HPC history a nub is funnier. Classic.
also how can u call him one of the best players in history when all he does to kill is use heavies. surely the best player in the world does not depend skilless guns.
How can I call him one of the best players in history? I base my opinion of the measure of a player only one way, his or her ability to help their team win. Whether it be through capping, sniping, pistolling, or heavy whoring until the cows come home. Were you around during cal? I didn't play CAL but I pugged a lot with people who did. Back then people were serious about competition. It didn't matter what your strategy was as long as you won. To me when I played competitively I would use anything and everything within the rules to win. This includes heavies, grenades, flamethrower. In competition if you gave me half an inch I was going to use it to try to beat you. That's just the way it was. Most serious competitive players would say something similar. If they gave it to you to use then you have to consider that someone might use them. Case and point shees. Lots of people hate shees, and quite frankly I'm not to terribly fond of them myself. They are however in the game and TWL CTF included DI in the available maps which meant shees. So myself and my team consistently practiced dogfighting and taking them down. I taught most of Asgard to take shees down with pistol myself. In other words whether or not you think it's nub it is a part of the game deal with it.
I realize that most players these days do use the no heavies honor system, I 2v2 with [FI]DarK a lot to help his team prep for matches. We use the no heavies rule when we do. Simply because that's how his match will be played. However if it were a real match I would whore RL and or FRG to no end.
Now I have a question for you. Why does this even bother you so much? It seems to me that you are whining about a game where you had an equal opportunity to use every weapon on the map and every advantage that the game gave you and actively chose not to. The other team chose to use every advantage they had and won. Sounds like they had a better strategy than you did to me. Notice at no point did I mention skill. I'm a strategist not a killer. I was never a great killer, but I can observe a situation and support my team.
On the UK server you guys chose an all snipers game, a game that greatly favors lower pings, and won. That's the point though, you won. Isn't that good enough for you?
